FSR Hub 4XL - Insulated 4 Season Tent with Stove Jack
FSR Hub 4XL - Insulated 4 Season Tent with Stove Jack
Pop-up hub tents are convenient. The problem is that most stop there: thin walls, no insulation, nowhere to run a stove. The Hub 4XL is built differently. A true square tent with an 8 foot by 8 foot footprint, Tri-Layer insulated walls and door, a 3 inch integrated stove jack, a removable floor, and a pull-tab deployment that takes a few minutes. It is the ground tent that earns a place in an overlanding kit rather than just a car camping weekend.
It works as a spacious 4 person tent or a workable 6 person tent across 64 square feet, with 80 inches of interior height so adults stand comfortably. It weighs 42 pounds. Roll the walls up and the integrated bug mesh gives you a screen house; roll them down and you have an insulated enclosure that holds warmth in winter and blocks heat in summer. It also connects to your vehicle with the Car Connect accessory, turning tent and rig into one continuous covered space. Ladder-free, pole-free apart from the three that support the door, and the dimmable LED is already in the box.
Four Pull Tabs, Deployed in Minutes
Four pull tabs release the hub structure and the integrated front door drops into position supported by three poles. No separate pole assembly, no threading sleeves, no reading instructions by headlamp. For a pop up tent for camping at this size, that is the difference between setting up camp and fighting with camp.
The rainfly and floor are both optional and removable, so you configure the tent for the conditions you are actually in rather than the conditions the designer assumed.
Eighty Inches of Standing Room
At 80 inches of interior height, most adults stand fully upright inside the Hub 4XL. That changes how a group uses the space. Cooking, changing, gearing up in the morning, and waiting out weather all happen inside rather than hunched over or outside in the rain. Across a square 96 by 96 inch floor, four to six people have room to move around each other rather than taking turns. It is the difference between a shelter you sleep in and a shelter you live in.
Insulated Walls, Real Stove Capability
The roll-up walls and integrated door use FSR's patented Tri-Layer construction, a polycotton fill sonic-welded between two waterproof layers. They hold warmth in when it is cold and keep heat out when it is hot. That insulation is what makes the 3 inch integrated stove jack worth having: a ceiling port in an uninsulated shelter just vents your heat out the roof. Pair the two and the Hub 4XL moves from a three-season shelter into genuine cold-weather base camp territory, which is what earns it the 4 season tent description.
The Half Rainfly Detail
This is a small design decision that solves a real problem. The half rainfly covers the roof without blocking airflow from the roll-up walls, which means weather protection and ventilation run at the same time. A fully sealed tent traps the moisture your breathing puts into the air, and you wake up to condensation on everything. Here you get the roof covered and the sides still breathing.
Three Configurations, One Tent
Insulated Enclosure
Walls rolled down, floor in, rainfly on. Tri-Layer insulation all around. Add a wood burner through the stove jack for winter use.
Screen House
Walls rolled up with integrated bug mesh deployed. A genuine screen house tent for warm evenings, with airflow and a view but no insects.
Open Shelter
Floor out, rainfly off. A covered open-sided space for cooking, or for connecting to your vehicle with Car Connect.
Removable Floor
The floor comes out when you do not need it, which is useful for cooking setups, sandy or wet sites where a tub floor just collects water, and for connecting to the Car Connect accessory for a seamless vehicle-to-tent footprint extension. It can be left attached the rest of the time.
Integrated PVC Window and Blackout Panel
A clear PVC panel on the door gives you a view and natural light when the weather closes in. An interior blackout panel zips over it when you want to sleep in. One panel, two modes, nothing separate to lose.
Full Zipper Door
A full zipper door gives unobstructed access to the interior, and it rolls away and secures for easy in and out when you are moving gear or people through repeatedly. The opening is 41 inches wide by 67 inches tall.
Dimmable LED Included
A dimmable LED light strip is in the box. No separate purchase, no hunting for a lantern that will light 64 square feet.
✓ Car Connect Compatible
The Hub 4XL works with the Car Connect accessory, which joins the tent to your vehicle for one continuous covered footprint. Pull the removable floor and you have a tent that attaches to car and extends straight out of the rear hatch or tailgate. Worth noting: the larger Hub 4 Double is not Car Connect compatible, so if vehicle attachment matters to your setup, the 4XL is the model to choose. Call us at 844-200-3979 and we will confirm what you need.
Hub 4XL or Hub 4 Double?
Same Tri-Layer walls, same pull-tab deployment, same 3 inch stove jack. The difference is footprint shape and what each one is built around.
| Hub 4XL | Hub 4 Double | |
|---|---|---|
| Footprint | Square, 96" x 96" | Rectangle, 72" x 144" |
| Floor Space | 64 sq ft | 72 sq ft |
| Capacity | 4 to 6 | 4 to 8 |
| Interior Height | 80" | 78" |
| Weight | 42 lbs | 63 lbs |
| Packed | 70" x 12" x 10" | 54" x 17" x 15" |
| Car Connect | Compatible | Not compatible |
| Best For | Tight sites, vehicle attachment, lighter kit | Cot rows, larger groups |
Choose the Hub 4XL if you want Car Connect compatibility, a lighter 42 lb packed weight, or a square footprint that places more easily on tight dispersed sites.
Choose the Hub 4 Double if you are running two rows of cots or hosting a larger group, since the 12-foot rectangle fits a center aisle the square cannot.

Pros
- Four pull tabs and three door poles is the entire setup for a 64 sq ft shelter
- 80" interior height means adults stand fully upright inside
- Tri-Layer insulated walls and door, not the thin single-layer fabric most pop-up hub tents use
- 3" integrated stove jack backed by insulation that actually holds the heat
- Half rainfly gives weather protection and ventilation at the same time, so no condensation buildup
- Car Connect compatible for a continuous vehicle-to-tent footprint
- Removable floor and rainfly configure it as an enclosure, a screen house, or an open shelter
- Only 42 lbs, which is 21 lbs lighter than the Hub 4 Double
- Integrated PVC window with blackout panel, and a dimmable LED already included
Cons
- Square footprint does not suit two rows of cots the way the Hub 4 Double's rectangle does
- Packs to 70 inches long, so the bag needs a full-size truck bed or a folded rear seat rather than a trunk
- Rated 4 to 6 rather than 4 to 8, so larger groups should size up
- The ceiling relies on the half rainfly for full weather protection rather than being waterproof on its own
Frequently Asked Questions
How many people does it sleep?
FSR rates it 4 to 6. As a 4 person tent with room to spare for gear, 64 square feet is comfortable. Pushed to 6 with people on pads directly on the floor it still works, though it gets tight if the tent is also your camp kitchen and gathering space. If you regularly camp with six or more, the Hub 4 Double is rated 4 to 8 with a 72 square foot rectangular layout built around cot rows.
Can I run a wood stove inside?
Yes. The Hub 4XL has a 3 inch integrated ceiling port designed for a wood burner or cooking stove. What makes it worthwhile is the Tri-Layer insulation around it, since a stove jack in a thin-walled shelter just vents heat out the roof. Together they push this from a three-season tent into genuine cold-weather base camp capability. Follow your stove manufacturer's clearance and safe operation guidance, and never leave a burner unattended while sleeping.
Does it connect to my vehicle?
Yes, with the Car Connect accessory. It joins the Hub 4XL to your vehicle for one continuous covered footprint, and pulling the removable floor lets the tent extend straight out of a rear hatch or tailgate. Worth knowing: the larger Hub 4 Double is not Car Connect compatible, so if attaching your shelter to the rig matters, the 4XL is the model that does it. Call us at 844-200-3979 and we will sort out what you need.
Will I get condensation inside?
Less than in a fully sealed tent, and the half rainfly is why. It covers the roof without blocking airflow from the roll-up walls, so weather protection and ventilation run at the same time. A fully sealed shelter traps the moisture your breathing puts into the air overnight, which is what leaves everything damp by morning. Here the roof stays covered while the sides keep breathing.
How hard is it to set up?
Release four pull tabs and the hub structure opens, then the integrated front door drops into position. The only separate assembly is three poles supporting the door frame. There is no conventional pole threading, which is what makes a shelter this size practical rather than a project. It takes a few minutes. Guyline and stakes are included for securing it in wind.
Can I use it as a screen house?
Yes. Roll the walls up and the integrated bug mesh becomes a full screen house, so you get airflow and a view of the campsite without insects. Roll them back down and you have the insulated enclosure again. Combined with the removable floor and rainfly, the same shelter covers a warm-evening screen house, a winter enclosure with a stove, and an open-sided cooking shelter.
